Table 1.

Antimicrobial activity, determined according to the well-diffusion method and expressed as diameter of inhibition halo (mm), of BLIS-containing medium and 1% Nisaplin after 10 h of fermentation against different target microorganisms

Strain BLIS Nisaplin
Ls 18.00 ± 0.12e 12.00 ± 0.42c
En2052 16.20 ± 0.28d 12.50 ± 0.11c
En2865 16.45 ± 0.21d 12.30 ± 0.09c
Lse 15.50 ± 0.51d 12.50 ± 0.13c
Li 9.70 ± 0.15a 9.50 ± 0.14a
Lm 2045 11.50 ± 0.22c 10.10 ± 0.32b
Lm 934 10.70 ± 0.41b 9.90 ± 0.39a

BLIS = bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance, Ls = Lactobacillus sakei ATCC 15521, En2052 = Enterococcus 2052, En2865 = Enterococcus 2865, Lse = Listeria seeligeri NCTC11289, Li = Listeria innocua NCTC 11288, Lm 2045 = Listeria monocytogenes NADC 2045, and Lm 934 = Listeria monocytogenes CECT 934. Values are the means of duplicates ± standard deviation. Different letters in the same column mean statistically significant difference among the values for the same antimicrobial, according to the test of Tukey (p < 0.05). Well diameter = 6.5 mm
